Looking at spending about 800. Potentially more depending on how much I get for my old rig...

The El guapo looks nice and right in my price bracket cheers. How much does a Nicolai set you back - couldn't find much on the old google shopping...?

Just found the Nicolai Price list and a little out of reach unfortunately. Does anyone know if the SC bullit is now discontinued? can't seem to pick the frames up anywhere in UK

Guapo is good. If you are anywhere near London you can try mine if you like

The Nukeproof Mega is pretty close to your budget new.

Cotic Hemlock... Though make sure it's got the beefed up chainstays. [i]Ridiculously[/i] good bikes, and cheap for what you get.

Looking at spending about 800.

There's a lovely Intense Uzzi on a well-known auction site if you're after a small 😉

Only the later model Hemlocks come with a 1.5 headtube though - 2010 onwards I think?

Thanks for all the suggestions! Some real food for thought there. I'm leaning towards the Nukeproof Mega ATM after a little research.

Cheers
